Clever Title - Memorize Your Lines and Try Not To Bump Into the Furniture.

And never let them cough.

Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters. ~Seneca

“For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.” ~Ethel BarrymoreI'm Carrie Leigh... a wife, mother, actress, teacher, writer, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. I love cooking, reading, baking, Jesus, sewing, theatre, blueberries, and watching complete seasons of television shows on DVD. Not necessarily in that order.

I'm sorry that I haven't been around (has anyone noticed that I haven't been around?) much the past few weeks. Just a few more and rehearsals will be over and life will go back to normal.

Or as normal as my life ever gets.Bullet points, because I can't think.

Clean my house (No, really. I mean I have to clean my house, 'cause ugh)

Tackle Mt. Laundry (It is HUGE. Everest better move over, because our dirty clothes pile is about to take the #1 spot)

Get freaking off book for Act II (I would rather memorize entire pages of passages rather than the little conversational dialogue-y stuff. I say "Chet!" about 15 million times. I've started saying it when I go up on my lines, just because odds are, that that's the one I've missed.)

Fixed that blasted dress (I'm close. Really, really close.)

Stay on my diet (Nothing gives incentive like being humiliated by clothing)

Something else, I'm sure

I have a funeral to attend tomorrow morning. I really, really don't like funerals.

I think I recall you saying something like that about funerals once or twice, yup. Is it strange that I kind of like them? Probably is. It's the tribute component that I like, and the ceremonial part too. When I was little I wanted to be a priest... stop laughing, I did!

Gah, to-do lists only help de-clutter my head. I never actually DO anything on them :\ So I'm probably not much help with the stress relieving (I agree with Jandy on the burning by the way). Good luck with rehearsals and tackling the chores.
